Dropped off the bmw a bit ago. Never been so happy to get off a bike. Every time we spend a couple of weeks on the tenere, we feel like we could travel continuously. Not so with the bmw. I dropped it off early and we are using cab service for the rest of the day. That's one miserable bike.

Update on the top speed. With mediocre fuel and a slight headwind, it wouldn't pull past an indicated 215kmh putting it maybe 15 mph faster than the tenere assuming the indicated speed is correct unlike the tenere.

Here's a few

Rented a GS in Osorno and tomorrow we hit Tierra del Fuego. Figured I'd post a comparison because I feel like I can give one now. We are 2 up on a rented water cooled Gs and I own a 2012 super tenere. The motor- this thing hauls ass, but it's got a lot less torque off idle and below 3500 or...

If it does go up, it won't be until 2016.

S10 is like a 2 wheel drive pickup truck. Get something lighter and smaller (and cheaper). I mean like under 250#. KTM 300 or less. Used Husky. Beta. Something light you can put a tag on. Save that kind of riding for that bike. I found a brand new Husky Wr144 for under $4K and have...

Prices have not changed since my original post.

I've been on them for a couple of thousand miles at this point. At first, they present a horrible buzz and track poorly and I hated them. This improved to what I'd called mildly annoying somewhere around 600 miles. The low speed howl and vibration of the k60 front around 25 mph is nothing...
